Age: 32 2013 Stats: .220/.282/.374, 13 HRs, 45 RBIs Connolly's take: Showalter never had Murphy in Texas, but given the strong Rangers presence in the Orioles organization, Murphy has been coveted here for a few years. A career .275 hitter, he had his worst season in 2013, perhaps making him an "undervalued asset," a Duquette specialty. The Orioles likely wouldn't sign Murphy, a left-handed hitter, and re-sign left fielder Nate McLouth.
